Anyone know anything about this knife and when we can expect to see it? Thanks for any info. Take care.

Only info I've seen on the forums is: It's gonna be awhile! A Year?

Ask again this time in two years.

We do not have it slotted at this time so it would be a while.

Actually we've done some refining of the design since we disco'd the first one. The "new" design is alittle bit narrower (top to bottom) and the handle has been "rounded" more at the belly removing the two "points" that designate finger grips. The rounder handle permits reverse grip edge-in position.

The "plan" is for an Integral Compression Lock (ICL) version in Titan and an FRN version, but there are so many designs in the works right now that everything will move slower for a while.

We're training a new engineer in R&D, I'm sure this will help, but the learning curve will take a while.

Sir Sal, I think you would have no problem finding volunteer engineers here on BFC!!!

If you wanna send a Tuff or Samaritan over to Utah for real world analysis, let me know...

what is titan? oh of course titanium?

Those finger groove "points" Sal referenced were one of my favorite aspects of that design.

It is one of my most comfortable folders in a hammer or saber grip(even icepick, now that I try it again). No matter, a revised model in Ti is still very very attractive to me. Especially with the compression lock. Will the clip be flippable (left and right) this time around?
